Oscar Nominations 2011

We had Shaun Tan visit Monash a couple of years ago to speak to students. He gave a fantastic presentation and was incredibly gracious, staying back to sign books. The line very rapidly grew! So I'd like to congratulate him on this latest achievement.

We're studying The Rabbits, illustrated by Tan, this semester in Children's Literature. I'm hoping to introduce more of his work into the curriculum. The rest of the world has been sitting up and noticing his talent and this is good news for Australian literature.

About Me

Dr Rebecca-Anne C. Do Rozario researches and teaches fairy tale, children's and fantasy literature at Monash University. This blog is an off-campus outlet for thinking about these stories and their tellers.
And now the Blog's Song (because having a good theme song is important).
To quote Dumbledore, "everyone pick their favourite tune":
If there's somethin' strange/ in your literature/
Who you gonna call?/
Doc-in-Boots/
If it's somethin' weird/
an' it don't read right/
Who you gonna call?/
Doc-in-Boots/
I ain't afraid of no tale (with thanks to the Ghostbusters theme song)
